Configuring an SNMP Agent
Use the procedures in this section to:
■ Configure the SNMP agent that runs on the director and implements the
following MIBs:
— MIB-II
— Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB
— Director private MIB
— Fibre Alliance MIB
Note: For complete information on objects defined in MIBs and steps to download
MIB variables to your SNMP workstation, refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP
Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches .
■ Configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap
recipients. An SNMP trap recipient is a network management station that
receives messages through SNMP for specific events that occur on the
director.
■ Define SNMP community names that SNMP managers use for reading
variables.
■ Authorize write permissions for writable MIB variables.
Note: SNMP managers may request, but will not receive, traps and SNMP data
through SNMP management stations that are not configured with community
names.
To configure the SNMP agent:
1. At the Hardware View page, click Configure > SNMP Agent. The Configure
SNMP dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 43 .
a. For each trap recipient to be configured, type a community name of 32 or
fewer alphanumeric characters in the associated Community Name field.
The community name is incorporated in SNMP trap messages to ensure
against unauthorized viewing or use.
